What Gives, adem?

[Primetime]

How long have we been watching guys trip over one another because they are stuck in an animation? Hopefully from Madden 10 and on, we don't have to deal with the running back getting 3-4 extra yards solely because he's stuck in that animation. I really like this new feature and I think it will help separate the bad defenses from the good ones.

[Houston]

Adembroski really doesn't deserve all the shit he's taking. He didn't have to come in here a fill us all in on anything. He was kind enough to come in and fill us in on the things he saw. No one forced him to do it. Should just be thankful for what information he does give us. It's not like he has the authority to change what announcements are being made.

Who was giving him shit?

[vamprb]

I completely agree, it's awesome that he comes in here and tells us this stuff. Keeps me pumped.

FWIW, I wasn't ragging on adem in my post. I just thought the announcement was a letdown. I think EA switched up the announcements. I really do think something else was supposed to be released on draft day, but for some reason it turned into 9 man tackle.

Agreed

[vamprb]

Honestly, I can't remember many times when it took 9 guys to make the tackle. 3 or 4, maybe 5 but never 9.

I'm assuming the 9 man thing is the total amount of players from both teams being involved in any given play whether is fighting for a fumble or just moving the pile.

[Houston]

Oh dang this was aimed at the member Adem. I didn't know

I thought it was aimed at Ian Cullings, my bad. "Thanks" removed.

[killgod]

im pretty sure most would have called bullshit or been skeptical he said madden 10 would have 9 man piles/gang tackling way back..

I almost think it would have had a better effect had they told us before this was coming.....let us call bullshit....then proved us wrong.


But their marketing team has already proved borderline retardation with that rookie mode trailer of awfulness.

[Tailback U]

I think some of you are underestimating the importance and coolness of the Pro Tak system.

It is going to literally change the feel of the entire game because every player on the field can literally change the flow and direction of every single play. It means increased player detection and awareness and will making tackling much more realistic.

Watch the Broncos defense..

[Nukleopatra]

I don't consider the info so far as ''small things.'' Hell, I'd list a few of them ahead of the tackling shit.

The new ratings, which help slow the game down, has been needed for years. The game has always played too damn fast, which completely ruined the previous game. And if they still managed to screw the game speed up, they added a game speed slider, which is also a nice feature. The new team also corrected one of the biggest goofs in Madden history - The removal of CPU sliders.

Adaptive AI - Assumning this actually works.... and I have my doubts.. This is the biggest feature in my eyes. Certainly blows the hell out of some lame ass nine man gang tackling.

Two features I have been begging for, for many many years. I just hope enough time has been spent on the features, to have them working correctly.

[Saluki]

You guys are seriously underestimating how pro-tak will change this game. Not just tackling, or pushing the pile or fighting for fumbles. This changes how every single player on the field interacts with each other. It enables the offensive and defensive lines to interact in a much more realistic way creating an actual pocket, it allows for a QB to still be able to throw the ball even as he's going down to the ground instead of just tucking it soon as he's touched like in every other madden, and im sure it impacts the game in other ways that they just haven't mentioned yet.

ea is a letdown indeed

[Nukleopatra]

How are they a let down this year? They're adding in everything we're asking for. A lot of it is small shit, but that's not EAs fault.. You people are so high on crappy shit like hand towels, it's almost laughable.

I've personally asked for the following....

Adaptive AI - Added.
Slower game play - Added.
CPU Sliders - Added.

Now, if those things don't work the way some of us expect them to work, I'll agree with you. And I'll be honest, I expect the worst, especially with Adaptive AI.. It's far too good to be true.

[Maynard]

Honestly, I can't remember many times when it took 9 guys to make the tackle. 3 or 4, maybe 5 but never 9.

no shit.....it doesnt take 9 guys to gang tackle 1 guy. one guy could break several tackles, but it never takes that many to bring someone down.

I can see it now.....EA will fuck it up and now on every tackle you will see 9 guys diving on the pile......maybe doing this will make the tackle stats be correct.......of course tackles dont mean shit when the CPU cant run the ball and then throws is 40 times a game

Adembroski really doesn't deserve all the shit he's taking. He didn't have to come in here a fill us all in on anything. He was kind enough to come in and fill us in on the things he saw. No one forced him to do it. Should just be thankful for what information he does give us. It's not like he has the authority to change what announcements are being made.

totally disagree.....there is nothing wrong with adem posting info or even saying new info will be out soon.....and nobody is giving him shit for the info he posted......he is getting shit for over hyping that info. And he deserves it......you wanna play reporter, then just report the info without the hype and let people decide for themselves what is great and what isnt

you have got to be kidding.....

adaptive ai has been something EA said was in the game the past couple of years.....there whole, u run the same play the defense will start to recognize your tendencies and the AI will Adapt to stop those money plays......did we all forget this?

cpu sliders.....cmon....this has been in madden since sliders were created.....how is this new?

slower gameplay.....OMG! does anyone remember madden when it felt like players were running in mud

you guys are fooling yourself if your buying into the hype EA has created yet again.....oh, but this year they are doing this and doing that.....oh, look what they are adding.......
they have been saying and doing all these things for the past 10 years......

and since someone you are so quick to forget.....2 words
